]]>Seagate, one of the largest hard drive manufacturers is claiming to have the industry’s first and only 4TB HDD which will use 1TB-per-platter technology.This helps Seagate to get highest performance possible which having larger storage space and reducing cost.. hopefully which will reflect on the end product when consumers are purchasing it.

The 4TB drive comes with the model number “ST4000DM000” and is a 4K aligned drives.

It also seems that the HDD maker has ditched the “Barracuda” branding as well, as can be seen on the graph itself when referring the older drives as “Formerly Barracuda”. Seagate’s website also now terms internal desktop drives as “Desktop HDD” and “Desktop SSHD”.

Barracuda Green hard drives also support Seagate Think Green programs for a greener more sustainable world:

· 70 percent or more of the materials used to build the drive can be recycled.

· All Barracuda Green drives use low halogen components to reduce the negative environmental impacts related to these substances.

· Barracuda Green is designed and built to the highest environmental standards.

“Not only do Barracuda® Green drives offer environmental improvements in power consumption and material usage, but these drives are also among the first hard drives from Seagate to offer SmartAlign technology,” said Rajesh Khurana, Seagate country manager for India and SAARC. “This is important because the industry is transitioning to 4K sector formatting called Advanced Format to improve capacities and maintain strong error correction. However, the transition to Advanced Format without SmartAlign technology can be complex and require additional integration steps and software utilities to avoid performance degradation. SmartAlign technology removes these concerns and makes this transition virtually invisible for our customers.”

The Barracuda Green hard drive, offered in capacities of 2TB, 1.5TB and 1TB, is now shipping to the worldwide distribution channel.
